How to make it
Combine rum and syrup. Squeeze the lime disc over the glass, drop it in, and stir. Ice is optional.
Glass: Old-fashioned glass. Ice: Optional large cube; often served without ice. Garnish: The lime disc already in the drink.
Flavor & balance
- Sweet (dominant): Sweeteners, fruit or sweetened modifiers round the attack and add weight; product sugar varies.
- Boozy (Spirit-Forward) (dominant): Perceived spirit prominence and alcohol warmth, not a laboratory ABV estimate. This emphasis is an editorial expectation for the selected recipe.
Assess sweetness, bitterness and tactile drying separately. These flavor expectations are based on recipe structure, not measured tasting scores. Actual products, ice and dilution will change the result.
Preparation & batching
Service complexity: low. Batchability: spirit components only.
- Measure and label the chosen product specification; chill appropriate glassware.
- Prepare or select the named syrup; record its concentration and follow its storage instructions.
- Prepare and measure fresh fruit components for the service plan; do not assume a fruit count guarantees a juice volume.
Finish chilling, dilution and garnish at service. Trial the actual serving method before approving a batch. Workload is an editorial assessment; no labor timing or storage validation is claimed.

Recipe notes & variations
The general agricole recipe does not establish Martinique AOC status. S088 applies when the selected rhum actually carries that designation.
For a Black Flannel variation, change one component at a time and record the selected product, proof, sweetener concentration and dilution. Compare it with this reference before naming or publishing the variation.
